I have often said that there is no place as enchanting as the Mojave Desert and now I am pleased to say that Parker and Brito have put together a must-have field guide that does the region justice.

Parker and Brito’s excellent new field guide is a “must carry” reference for anyone interested in the herpetology of the Mojave Desert, from amateur naturalist to seasoned scientist. It is richly illustrated and contains a wealth of information on the habits of and habitats occupied by the amphibians and reptiles adapted to these arid lands of the Southwest. The taxonomic treatment is up-to-date, and the novel species account presentation, with range maps, photographs and natural history accounts, makes species identification a simple task. Highly recommended!
